Beatrice earned her place in the tournament by winning the US Open Wild Card Playoffs last month, defeating #169 Madison Brengle in the final. Beatrice said: "I knew [Aravane] was a really tough player. I had a good win first round, and that gave me a lot of confidence. Being able to like compete with her in the first couple games gave me the confidence that I knew I could do well in my match. That really helped me a lot." postmatch interview In the 3nd round on Saturday, Beatrice will play the 2006 US Open champion, (and this year's champion in Strasbourg and Memphis), 23-year-old 14th-seeded #16 (and former #1) Maria Sharapova of Russia (residences: Manhattan Beach, California & Bradenton, Florida). About the possibility of playing Maria, Beatrice said: "I'm really excited. I think it will be an amazing experience. I know she's just such a tough competitor. When I was younger I used to always look up to her, so I think it will be a really good match for me to see where I am compared to that kind of level." Also on Thursday at Flushing Meadows, the champion the past two weeks in Montreal and New Haven, 20-year-old top-seeded #2 (career-high: also #2) Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark (residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco), crushed, killed and destroyed 19-year-old #89 Kai-Chen Chang from Taoyuan, Taiwan, 6-0, 6-0 (photo shown). Caroline said: "I felt great out there today. Everything was fine. I just got something for a headache [during my doubles match] yesterday, and that was it. I was feeling good today. No problems... "I've played tough matches in my in the previous weeks. I've been playing really great tennis. I'm feeling good, so no worries." postmatch interview In the 3nd round on Saturday, Caroline will another player from Taipei, 21-year-old #76 Yung-Jan Chan. The winner of that match will face either Maria Sharapova or Beatrice Capra in the 4th round. Word is that Victoria Azarenka is OK. This year's champion at Stanford, 20-year-old 10th-seeded #11 (career-high: #6) Victoria of Belarus (residence: Scottsdale, Arizona) collapsed during her match against Gisela Dulko on Wednesday while experiencing what the tournament called "headache-like symptoms." Vika was taken to a hospital, where tests revealed she had a mild concussion from a fall in the gym earlier in the day. Victoria said: "[Due to the fall in the gym] I was checked by the medical team before I went on court and they were courtside for monitoring. I felt worse as the match went on, having a headache and feeling dizzy."

Pilot Pen Open, New Haven, CT PREMIER $600,000 30m/32q/16d outdoor: hard Live Scores | draws: WTA: Q - main - D - OOP | pics: DL Y!: sports - news | WTA On Saturday in New Haven, in the final of the Pilot Pen Open, last week's champion in Montreal (and the top seed at next week's US Open), 20-year-old top-seeded #2 (career-high: also #2) Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark (residence: Monte Carlo, Monaco), defeated the 2008 champion at Cincinnati, 28-year-old 8th-seeded #21 Nadia Petrova of Russia (residence: like Caroline, income tax-free Monte Carlo), 6-3, 3-6, 6-3 (Nadia is shown during the match; Caroline with the glassware afterward). It was the third straight year that Caroline has won the New Haven title. Caroline's prize is $98,500; Nadia's is $52,500. Hammer-thrower's daughter Nadia struck 12 aces (with 6 double faults). But Caroline, who hit only 4 aces (with 2 DFs), won 61% of her 1st serve points (Nadia: 52%). Caro converted 6 of the 15 break points she reached against Nadia, while Nadia scored on 5 of the 11 break points she held against Caroline. Caroline, has now won 10 straight matches on hard courts, and 16 of her last 17 leading up to the US Open. She has been playing a great deal, and has sometimes had to call the trainer for treatment during matches. But, Caroline said: "I feel great. I have a Tuesday start. I’m on a roll." AP story Caroline now leads Nadia 3-1 in career matches. Nadia's win over Caroline came in Moscow in 2008, 6-4, 3-2 retired, when Caroline could not continue due to upper respiratory illness. Caroline's earlier wins over Nadia were both this year, on a Plexipave hardcourt in the 4th round at Indian Wells, 6-3, 3-6. 6-0, and on Har-Tru green clay in the quarterfinals at Charleston, 6-3, 6-4. 2009 US Open finalist Caroline is now 10-7 in WTA singles finals; she won at Montreal last week, at Copenhagen three weeks ago, and Ponte Vedra Beach earlier this year. Caroline has a 45-14 singles match record this season. On Thursday, Caroline clinched the US Open Series title. Winning the US Open Series means that Caroline will receive a bonus added to her US Open prize money this year, and, if she wins the US Open title, the bonus will be one million dollars. Nadia is now 9-11 in WTA singles finals; she won in Cincinnati and Quebec City in 2008, but she had not reached a final since then. Nadia has a 27-16 singles match record in 2010. This was the last year that Pilot Pen will be the New Haven tournament's principal sponsor; the tourney searching for new backing. Caroline said: "I love this tournament. It’s been great preparation for me the last couple of years, so I would love to come back."

News Briefs:
(Sep 2, 2010) WTA #1 Serena Williams has revealed the details of her foot injuries in an interview. The injuries required 18 stiches, 12 on her right foot and 6 on her left foot, and surgery on her right foot to repair a torn toe tendon. USA Today interview(August 20, 2010) WTA #1 Serena Williams has withdrawn from this year's US Open. Serena has not yet recovered from cutting her right foot on broken glass at a restaurant in Europe in July, and from repair surgery after the injury. Serena said "My doctors have advised against my playing so that my foot can heal."
Serena cut her foot after her Wimbledon title victory on July 3, and the injury was at first not thought to be serious. Serena then lost to Kim Clijsters in an exhibition in Belgium on July 8. Asked how she was able to play the exhibition with the injury, Serena said: "Those Belgian doctors and waffles."
Serena underwent surgery in Los Angeles on July 15. Serena had previously withdrawn from three tourneys leading up to the US Open and from all of her 2010 World Team Tennis matches due to the injury. AP story - July 20 AP update - original AP story
(August 18, 2010) Former WTA #1 Justine Henin will not play any more WTA tourneys until 2011. Justine incurred a partial ligament tear in her right elbow while playing her 4th round match against Kim Clijsters at Wimbledon on in June (Kim won the match, 2-6, 6-2, 6-3), which had already caused her to withdraw from the summer season, including this year's US Open.
Justine said: "I took several medical examinations in the last days... Unfortunately the healing process is taking time. This means I must be patient... For my preparation for the competition in 2011, I cannot take any risks, so I hope to be back to practice in October. I'll work hard to get ready for this new season!" Justine's official website - BBC story
(March 5, 2010) The WTA has posted a new page showing "all-time" (which means since 1989!) and current year's service speed leaders. However, a note at the bottom of the page shows that the data, is only from show courts at a fraction of the tourneys (12 events this year).
The actual all-time WTA service speed record is 130 miles per hour, set by then 35-year-old Brenda Schultz-McCarthy in the 1st round of qualifying at Cincinnati in 2006. The WTA should not list "all-time" service speed leaders without making this perfectly clear.
